Editting and the Popcorn Premier

The saying whatever can go wrong will go wrong is at times very true! Editing day was a little like that. To speed up the initial editing we split it 3 ways and worked on Final Cut Pro on our 3 laptops, that worked really well until we tried to move the sequences between computers and would you know it all the clips were going offline. This caused major problems and a lot of wasted time for our team that we couldn't afford so close to the premier. This unfortunately was one indication that it might have been wiser to stick to our assigned jobs.

With the premier coming up fast we had to sacrifice some quality and get the movie showable so we exported the sequences as quick time movies and used them in turn as clips in a new sequence that made up the whole movie. This was a disappointing day for us as we felt the time that we lost in complications could of instead been used to bring our movie up to a much higher quality.

We did however with a team effort manage to scrape together all the remaining factors we needed to present the final movie and were very happy that we did have a finished product to show on the day.

Our movie will be re-edited and named in the study week so we can hand in a finished product that we are all happy with.
